Strategic services
The strategic services of our custom software development company focus on the why and the how, while our implementation services focus on getting the what done as efficiently as possible with high craftsmanship and quality.
Cloud services
Lessons learned from thousands of deployments across hundreds of projects yield one thing—the experience and know-how to design the "right" architecture is always a tradeoff between speed, cost, efficiency, in-house skill sets, product roadmaps, and a host of other factors. An NP-hard problem, we thrive on delivering optimal results in the field of cloud architecture, design, implementation, monitoring, training, and support.

What is custom software development?
Custom software development is the process of designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining software solutions for specific users or organizations. Unlike off-the-shelf software, custom software development targets a narrow set of requirements specific to each client's business needs.
Like no other software company, our custom software development company offers high-performance engineering teams with the right attitude to help you build quality bespoke software solutions.
Like no other software company, our custom software development company offers high-performance engineering teams with the right attitude to help you build quality bespoke software solutions.
What are the benefits of custom software development?
There are numerous benefits of custom software development:
- Efficient. Custom software is designed by a custom software development company to meet clients' unique requirements in the most efficient way.
- Flexibility. Clients can add features during or after custom software development.
- Lower costs. Because of better efficiency and productivity of custom-built software, the total cost of ownership in the long term can be much lower compared to off-the-shelf software solutions.
- Maximum protection against security threats. With custom software development, you get to choose the security technology or protocol that provides the maximum security of your solution.
- Scalability. The potential growth of your business can be accounted for during custom software development. As your business grows, the software can scale with it.
- Integration. Custom software solutions can be built to integrate with existing and legacy systems, which can be much cheaper than getting packaged software solutions to operate with the existing IT landscape.
- Profitability. With custom software development, the organization that owns custom software can make money by selling the software to other businesses.
What are some famous examples of custom software?
Custom software development enables companies to increase cost-efficiency and profitability by leveraging customised tools, original ideas, and tailor-made strategies. Here are some examples of successful companies capitalizing on bespoke software development:
- Amazon leverages bespoke software development to conquer the eCommerce realm. The custom software solution collects data on consumer preferences while also creating a secure and hassle-free online shopping experience.
- Uber takes advantage of custom software development to outperform the competition. The famous player in the ride-hailing industry uses a custom-built application to create a seamless experience for passengers and drivers.
- McDonalds uses a custom self-order application to stay competitive in the market. The self-order kiosks allow customers to create their own burgers from nearly 30 ingredients.
How to choose the right custom software development company (software agency)?
In your search for a custom software development company (also known as a software agency or simply an agency), look for the following qualities:
- Extensive industry experience and a good track record. Evaluate the software company's portfolio and references.
- Deep technical expertise in the tasks you're outsourcing to the software company.
- Brilliant communication. Things to assess: English proficiency, time-zone difference, Internet connection, and cultural differences.
- Attention to detail. The custom software development company's staff should not be afraid to ask questions to understand your needs and requirements.
- Desire to do it right for the long haul. A good custom software development company's staff think of the long-term impact and possible risks.
- No fear of raising objections. A good custom software development company's staff are not afraid to oppose when they see solutions that may present issues in the future.
- Highly technical team leads. A good software company will provide excellent team leads who have a strong programming background. The team leads combine a software engineer's role with that of a business analyst, project manager, and development manager to ensure timely delivery from the development team and efficient communication with stakeholders at the client organization.
- Software development and IT consulting services under one roof. A vendor that combines the roles of a consulting and software development company helps clients improve their ways of working, reduce maintenance costs, and deliver quality software solutions at a higher velocity.
